Question

In an election, 11 of 20 voters preferred Ms. Williamson to Ms. Stallings. A total of 3300 people voted in the election. How many voters preferred Ms. Williamson to Ms. Stallings? A. 1815 B. 3291 C. 4185 D. 6000

Answer 1

If 11 of 20 voters preferred the first candidate you will simply multiply this fraction by the total number of voters to determine the number of people who voted in the election in total.

(11/20)* 3300= 1815

Therefore, the correct answer is A.
